Looks pretty good.. the offset is about right. Just needs a drop now. I like the color of your car..pretty rare. I was looking at one that color here in MB a few months before I bought my car.. but it got sold before I had the money together.

Looks really nice especially the new rims go with your grill and gives the car an exceutive look I would say you wouldn't need to drop it it looks good the way it is!

i'm going to have to disagree with the rest. those tires are wayy to skinny for our fat GS. first of all those rims are actually skinnier than the stock GS rims 7 vs 7 1/2 inches. so it looks like those rims belong on a accord look at the 3rd picture see how its soo pushed into the underside of the car. thats gonna make your car handle worse than it already does. well not a big amount but still some.

2nd of all, the profile size on those rims are probly off. so your speedometer is going to be off quiet a bit. just a thought.

I agree with Jmai22. The offsets are very weak and are sunk in there. Also the car needs to be alot lower to at least cover some of the fender gap. The tires are very skinny as it takes away from the bulkiness look of the 1st gen. That's just my opinion and when it all comes down to it, it's your car so you don't have to listen to me.

Hey Zeek, haven't seen you around town since you got your new paint job.

Did you sell your 22's?

Thanks, Bryan. I was bored last night so I decided to play around with Photoshop and see what I could come up with. .
